I remember when I took the pre-test at the beginning of this unit. I felt clueless. Just as I thought I might be feeling better about the class, a big curve ball was coming my way.
Then the first day we were given graphing packets. I had only previosly worked with finding one asymptote. When we had to find and least one horizontal and a vertical asymptote, but possible two. I understood how to find x and y intercepts and even the vertical and horzontal asymptote. What I had a struggle with was the sign chart. It took me quite a few problems to figure it out, but once I did it was a breeze. It felt great because it made everything else mush easier, and I did not have to stress as much.

Awesome job recognizing the breaking ball JV was throwing. Maybe a slider, but still good eye! Also, nice work siting your sources. If anything, you learned how to correctly use material on the web!
